Welcome to the forum Oluwoletroy,

How you doing? So can you present yourself may be!  What do you do in life?

hi im new been here 5 days and looking to make friends etc

you are welcome...we can exchange emails if you would like to...

I'm burned out, and I want to go out for a beer... NOW Who?

i just came back from that filapino bar in al marina it was ok but needed more people

I'm new to Abu dhabi and to Expat... Help please?

Welcome on Expat-blog IMac!

Can you tell us a bit more about you? How can we help you?

Hello everyone. I am new at this site but have lived here or to be more percise my family lived here for 3 decades and yes i am an expat I lived and studied in the West for over 10 years and came back just a little more than 5 years ago, even though i am an Arab and Muslim but i think to this day i still suffer from cultural shock so i understand how some might feel here My main problem here is difficulty to integrate mentally with most residents (who lived here for very long time)
as if there is a "one size fits all" mentality and you cant dare to break this tabboo unless you are expat of western background (i envy you, lol).

Well enough of ranting first of all hello everyone and I hope this forum will acquaint me with what i am looking for

I can't even imagine how hard for you... Do have at least a job? Can you go out?

What a boring days here I wish if I find mature man to share my time here I'm really need European or American mature man can help please?

Oh yes very very hard. And yes I do have a job, Consultant. I cant imagine my life without exercising my intellectual skills Truth is i enjoy my work, but the people i work with are different story. It is not that they are bad, it is as if we belong to different planets. Irony is that I get along with everyone but I dont many close friends and the ones i have are mostly with expats of western background.

Hi all

I am asif, an accountant by profession working in AD for the last 14 months. I am looking to make friends outside work with whom i can go out for get together, recreation, picnics / coffee , window shopping etc......

regards

asif

In order to obtain the title of ViP you shall have at least 1000 relevant posts! So, keep on blogging on expat.com

Yallah ..ok.thanks..it will take years I guess. may be it is just '1000 post' instead of 'relevant 1000 post. how to define if the posts are relevant or not..
